A new weekly direct service connecting key ports in China and Bangladesh has been introduced, enhancing trade between the two nations. This service, named China Chittagong Express (CCE), is set to begin operations on 31 August, with vessels jointly managed by a consortium.
According to Surendran Mathilagath, General Manager of Intra-Asia Services at Pacific International Lines (PIL), this new service is part of their ongoing efforts to support the growing trade between China and Bangladesh. The CCE aims to optimize the transportation of goods in a cost-efficient and reliable manner.
